Thank You,I've been trying to deal with SES too.  They are nearly impossible to 
deal with.  They want a commsearch for EVERY link.  I've tried to explain that 
these are ptmp systems.  Brick wall..

  Pat, 

  First, I can understand the Earth Station's concern about your customer sites 
but by properly engineering your network and showing your propagation patterns 
on a map, I believe you can address their legitimate concerns. 

  Either prepare or buy a propagation map showing that your access point will 
not interfere with the Earth Station. Then, show them how your customer sites 
will be pointed back toward your access point and NOT at the Earth Station, 
except in a few customer cases. Show them a coverage plot of the customer site 
closest to them that points away from them thus not creating any interference. 
Finally, show them a coverage plot of the closest customer site that IS 
pointing at them but that does not reach and interfere with them. They should 
then clearly understand that you have engineered your network in a way that 
will not create interference for them. 

  If you want, you can hit me offlist for more details.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65GHz & Grandfathered satellite earth stations

They sent our site information for the base stations to Comsearch for an 
RF analysis so they have a map.

They also have a map of my customer locations, none of which point in 
their direction. 

I also have a mountain range that goes from around 5000 feet to 7000 
feet in elevation between me and them.

They have the product information sheets for the antennas at the 
client's sites.


No attorney is involved yet.

Pat...what exactly are they saying to you. It is not easy. You may have 
to get a 3rd party engineering firm to tdo the analysis. I dealt with 
COmsearch for awhile before I switched jobs. Comsearch did one or two 
analysis' for a Wisp and I think that was it and they dropped it off 
their offerings to be rethought out.

Who are "these people"? The FCC or the satellite earth station people?

The FCC describes an alternative for determining a safe distance for
locating a station with in an FSS protection zone in Appendix D of the
Report and Order authorizing the 3.65 - 3.70 GHz band. You can read the full
document here:
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-56A1.pdf

This is the intro to the appendix.

*
APPENDIX D: A Methodology For Locating Fixed Stations Within The FSS Earth
Station
Protection Zone

The rules adopted herein require that fixed stations in the 3650-3700 MHz
band be located at least
150 km from any grandfathered FSS earth station unless all affected
licensees agree on closer spacing.
Below, we present as an example, one methodology that can be used to
determine a safe distance within
the FSS earth station protection zone where a fixed station can be located
without increasing the potential
of that station to cause harmful interference to the earth station. We
reiterate that this is being presented
only as an example of one methodology. We recognize that there are many
methods for providing the
required protection, such as locating the fixed station behind an
obstruction, and that licensees are free to
propose any method they deem appropriate.
*

I would assume that you could use this method to calculate the safe distance
for operating at 3.65GHz and present it to the FCC and the FSS earth station
operator.

I will need to do this for my WiMAX deployment which will have two mountain
ranges between the WiMAX network and the earth station.

Who are "these people"? The FCC or the satellite earth station people?

The FCC describes an alternative for determining a safe distance for
locating a station with in an FSS protection zone in Appendix D of the
Report and Order authorizing the 3.65 - 3.70 GHz band. You can read the full
document here:
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-56A1.pdf

This is the intro to the appendix.

*
APPENDIX D: A Methodology For Locating Fixed Stations Within The FSS Earth
Station
Protection Zone

The rules adopted herein require that fixed stations in the 3650-3700 MHz
band be located at least
150 km from any grandfathered FSS earth station unless all affected
licensees agree on closer spacing.
Below, we present as an example, one methodology that can be used to
determine a safe distance within
the FSS earth station protection zone where a fixed station can be located
without increasing the potential
of that station to cause harmful interference to the earth station. We
reiterate that this is being presented
only as an example of one methodology. We recognize that there are many
methods for providing the
required protection, such as locating the fixed station behind an
obstruction, and that licensees are free to
propose any method they deem appropriate.
*

I would assume that you could use this method to calculate the safe distance
for operating at 3.65GHz and present it to the FCC and the FSS earth station
operator.

I will need to do this for my WiMAX deployment which will have two mountain
ranges between the WiMAX network and the earth station.

Title: Thank You,




I would try buying a mailing list, map the potential
customers the fall within your wireless footprint, submit that as a
batch and get one approval. You could use the same information for a
targeted marketing campaign.













Thank You,
Brian Webster
